I don't know why it squelches either, but I love the sounds. Changing the divider settings is quite interesting. This is indeed surprising. I would have never thought of trying something like this. _________________--Howard

By doing the bit-selection the way you do inbetween the ADC and DAC, you're doubling certain bits, while throwing away others.

I made a simple graph using a spreadsheet, that is setup like most software compressors are- input on X-axis, output on Y-axis. To simplify, I only used 5 bits of adc/dac, but it easily makes the point here.

I use this method to create various look-up tables (that are larger than the 16 length (4 bit) sequencer/table that is available as a module. But I like the oddity you've come up with.

As for squeltching, it would depend on the divider/bit selection, and the frequency content of the input signal. In essence, (refer to the picture), a repeating wave (ie-frequency) would be jumbled up, in a repeating way. So in essence, you are moving the energy in certain frequencies to other frequencies. It'd probably be a good exercise to look at the "RAW" waveform and "DIST" waveforms through a FFT analyzer on your PC.

Thanks for this explanation, it is still a bit over my head, but the transfer of energy from frequencies to other frequencies is something that makes it a bit easier to grasp. I shall try to take a look at FFT analyses._________________Grtz Wan

I think the basics of the squelch behaviour is in the swapping of the bits. In this patch all the bits are swapped and now it has a sync like character. But a very powerfull type of sync, much more pronounced than the normal sync input.

Var 5 is nearly chaotic, if you raise the leven of the ad further it is getting noisy [knob a:1:8].

I've made a matrix so you can set wich input bit will go to wich output bit [page b1]. So now you can explore what is the behaviour of the different mappings. And then the idea popped up to divide the different bits to see what that would bring [page b2]. Well, it introduces all kinds of harmonic series . Variation 7 and 8 are examples of that.
Added an input filter for the ADDA too, and that also has a great effect on the produced sounds.

I've made a quick setup for all variations to touch on a few ideas, but there is definitly more here.
